Seats Holding Up?
Now that the C6 has been out for a while, how are everyone's seats holding up, especially for you bigger guys out there? Does your driver seat still look new or is it wrinkling and flattening out at all?

After 6,000 miles, my cashmere interior is like new. I did get Cocomats and use tan towels on the seats most of the time, but I really expected to see more signs of use. Really happy about the appearance and comfort of the C6.

Seem to be holding up okay, the only funny thing I've noticed is that I have to re-adjust the lumbar support every couple of weeks. Does anyone know if this uses an air bladder? If so, mine might have a very slight leak.

are those covers compatible w/side airbags, if you have them??If not,it could be an issue in a side collision.My seats are starting to wrinkle a little after 1000 miles.Funny you should post this thread as I was thinking of my seats this morning..I sat in a HYUNDAI TIBURON,of all cars,AND THOSE SEATS WRAP right around me!!I wish my vette seats were that well fitting!

I'm a big guy. The driver side doorside cushion/leather is quite wrinkled from entering. Lexol or other leather dressing is ineffective in putting it back. I've also managed to scar the driver's side airbag bolster twice since I've had it. The dealer warranteed the first and ordered a second seat cover for the second one. We're still waiting for it to arrive. The seat is all the way back and hasn't started rocking and seems fine other than that.

6'1", 250 lbs here, and this is my daily driver (14K) after 13 months. The leather is a little creased and wrinkled from getting in and out, but nothing I wouldn't really expect. And nothing beyond what I would consider ordinary. The stability of the seat is still much better than my C5.
